The US$100 notebook will not be a rational target for the next 3 years, in accordance to Gartner. Analysts revealed that while education was the preliminary target audience for low-cost mini-laptops, all existing versions cost remarkably more than US$100 and prices are improbable to fall drastically during the next 2 to 3 years. Gartner cautioned that while it is significant that prices persist to come down, companies that turn out to be too focused on flouting the US$100 barrier could be abstracted from addressing other concerns surrounding mini-laptops."The economic advantages of IT literacy in budding markets are at present lashing the push for the US$100 PC but there are a lot of open questions that hang about," said Annette Jump, research director at Gartner. "These comprise shaping the appropriate hardware specifications, power accessibility, ease of use and cost of Internet connection, as well as provided that adequate finance and payment alternatives for emerging markets where finances may well be enormously limited." Ms. Jump revealed that while Gartner believes that increased stipulate for the devices, along with declining component prices, could potentially trim down prices by 10-15% in the subsequent 2to 3 years; packaging, assemblage and software costs are expected to hang about the same.
